Shaheen & Gordon founders, William H. Shaheen and Steven M. Gordon,
served together as the United States Attorney and Assistant United States
Attorney for New Hampshire from 1976 through 1981. When they left the
U.S. Attorney’s Office, they went into private practice together.
Their background in criminal prosecution formed the cornerstone of their
criminal defense team in private practice.

Fraud, Abuse and Regulatory Compliance

Counsel for New Hampshire health care Providers

As government efforts to control fraud and abuse have intensified, the
need for providers to have meaningful, comprehensive compliance programs
has become ever more important. Shaheen & Gordon, P.A. has been assisting
both small and large health care providers to implement effective compliance
programs for over 15 years. These are not compliance programs that are
drafted and placed on a shelf but rather programs that become a fundamental
part of the organizational culture. Each is tailored to meet the individual
needs of the provider based on the type of services offered, the size
of the organization, the available resources and the systems capabilities.
Our experience spans a broad array of health care providers including
hospitals, physicians, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, community
mental health centers and physical therapy providers. We provider written
documentation, implementation, training and on-going follow up.

S&G empower providers with knowledge and experience in each of the
following areas as they apply to health care providers:

Physician Self-referral laws (Stark)

Antikickback

False Claims Act

Medicare and Medicaid requirements

Billing and Coding requirements

Health Information Portability and Accountability Act

Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)

American with Disabilities Act

Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act

Electronic health records

State licensing requirements

In those cases where providers find themselves subjected to governmental
scrutiny whether by the Office of the Inspector General, the U.S. Department
of Justice, the State Medicaid Fraud Unit or otherwise, S&G stands
ready to provide a vigorous defense. We work to resolving the issue expeditiously
in a manner that is fair and protects the financial viability and the
reputation of the provider.
